People forget that this isn't the first fight Bones ducked. He faked an injury and claimed to need surgery when his fight with Rashad was first scheduled. After Rashad got a new opponent he was miraculously healed and no longer needed surgery. Not to mention him suddenly unwilling to fight Anderson because they talked once and were now best friends. Chael is just the latest fighter the duck has ducked.
Good point. He wasn't feeling confident then either.
Enough joined haters r pathetic.

Actually Anderson was the one who pulled the friend card.
They both pulled the friend card, and Andy wad not offered jbj for 151. Jbj refused to fight anyone other than hendo and Andy volunteered to step in in jbj's place
No other fighter has pulled off the run bones is on..
/thread
Warzone209 - 1. Anderson was just givin an opportunity to face JBJ but said any other 205er
2. We all see what happened when they did fight..
- Do you blame Ando for not wanting to take that fight in 8 days? I don't
Seems to me if he really wanted to duck rashad that badly, it'd be alot easier to just keep the "friend card" he and rashad had already played. As opposed to saying he'd fight Rashad, "faking an injury", and then end up fighting Rashad anyway. Of course many ppl saw the "Pulling" of the card as less of Jones wanting to be competitive and fight the guy whom was next in line vs. a Betrayal/Going back on his word.

You'll get more green arrows if you lie and say JBJ pulled the friendo card.
AFTER andy said he had no interest in fighting jbj because of machida and other team mates in the division, jbj said he also had no interest in fighting andy because of their friendship.
and jbj DID duck rashad... he backed out for ELECTIVE surgery, and after rashad was rescheduled to fight mr wonderful, jbj decided not to go through with the ELECTIVE surgery afterall :-\
jbj is not a fight anyone anytime kind of fighter. he wants to plan meticulously for each fight. this turns alot of fans off.
he needed more time to plan for rashad so he backed out... same reason he wouldnt let them change his opponent on 8 days notice
rashad shoulda ducked
No one is questioning Jone's skill. He is one of the top fighters in the sport skill-wise. I am just pointing out that his ducking Chael wasn't an isolated incident. He has a history of ducking fighters. Based on his history you could also throw in his recent statements that he wouldn't fight Machida again.
didnt want to fight machida because he is tricky and low ppv %
wont fight chael despite the fact he is out of shape and has high ppv %
?????
yomamafool - didnt want to fight machida because he is tricky and low ppv %
wont fight chael despite the fact he is out of shape and has high ppv %

He accepted both of those fights for the 22nd so your attempt at framing this is a contradiction is nonsense.
And LOL@ ducking Rashad.
oh yeah he def ducked rashad for surgery he didnt need, eand ended up not getting

wow that sentence doesnt make any fucking sense at all
MentaL - So Jones will never fight Rashad then?
LOL
Great point OP.
Warzone209 - Chael Ducks Forrest Griffin at UFC 155 someone he has lost to in the past....
That fight hasn't even officially been called off yet, so as of right now, you are making stuff up based on a rumor and Chael's vague comments that there will be news about him soon.
Nice try though, maybe you should go back to trolling on youtube.
Or masturbating to pictures of Jon Jones ESPN body issue.
Throwing out unrelated issues to the OP to try to derail the thread is a sign of not having a strong position to argue.
Jon faking the hand surgery was obviously a ploy to buy time, he probably drilled those elbows with his extension onto his training camp
